12 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:13,200 This one I am making it an emergency show for the emergency queue. 13 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,560 I want to talk about something that my father taught me when I was pretty young about 14 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760 dealing with blisters. 15 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,040 I remember him doing this to my brother on how exactly he got a bunch of blisters on his 16 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,040 hand. 17 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:38,880 He showed this to us and then I have done it many times since and I haven't had any problems. 18 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:45,760 Most recently I went on a trip to Chicago with my brother and my brother walks quite a 19 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,520 lot. 20 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,920 He was visiting from Brazil going to Chicago and then I went to Chicago and met him 21 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,080 there and we walked a whole lot. 22 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:03,480 Since now I live in the United States I am not used to walking much at all anymore. 23 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,040 My feet were suffering quite a lot and he was absolutely fine. 24 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,440 Every night we got to the hotel and I would kind of do maintenance on my feet as you 25 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,480 would do to a horse or something like that. 26 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:25,840 What I did was I think after the second day I had blisters on one. 27 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,960 I think I had just two blisters on one foot and so what you can do is so I went to well 28 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:41,080 greens which is like a drugstore here in the US and I bought a sewing kit then you can 29 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:51,760 take your needle and your thread you thread the needle and then you poke into your blister 30 00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:02,040 being careful not to poke your flesh and then cross it to the other edge of your blister 31 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,800 and then poke it through to come out with your needle. 32 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:13,280 Then pass the needle through leaving some thread inside your blister then you can squeeze 33 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,160 in some liquid will come out and none of this will hurt obviously so some liquid will 34 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,720 come out so it's good to squeeze it with a napkin or something like that at first and then 35 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,160 it can just leave it like that. 36 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:36,720 It'll hurt a lot less right away and then you just leave the thread in and when you get 37 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,760 home in the evening you can remove it and then you can just move on and after a while 38 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:49,400 the skin will come off completely but you won't have any more pain pretty much immediately 39 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,720 after you'll do this so it's a pretty cool trick I've never seen anyone do this before. 40 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:02,040 My father taught me this a long, long time ago and I've never seen anyone do it since. 41 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:08,480 I don't know if he came up with this or what and he's not with us anymore so I can't 42 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,680 ask him but so I'm passing it on here as an emergency show. 43 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,560 Now this was being posted in 2022 and just recently we had a show that had been posted 44 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:33,280 in 2012 come through to the main feed so perhaps this will go out in about 2333 perhaps 45 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:42,120 if things go well I suppose so here's a shout out from 2022 to you in the future. 46 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,720 Alright thank you for listening now remember she listening to this it means hacker public 47 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,200 radio is
